This is an unbelievably impressive project and a killer write up, very satisfying. I wonder if the author looked into using Slint [1] for the UI, given the codegen bloat issues they had with buoyant (which also looks very cool). I haven&#x2

"Than what it's worth" is basically a shorthand for "if the cost of repairs is more than what it'd cost to buy a less problematic car, it probably makes more sense to just buy a less problematic car with that money&

I drive an 04 Civic I got from a coworker for $2000 seven years ago. One door handle is missing, the trunk leaks a bit when it rains, some of the ceiling fabric is starting to droop, the clear coat is mostly peeled off, first gear requires

I think you've picked the most cynical interpretation for each one. More charitably, you could say: - Ideate on things you can build for your fish tank - Iterate quickly on ideas for a tattoo - Get inspiration for a new metalworking (o

I think this is more of a nitpick than anything. SourceHut is a code forge, code forges are where you store your code (and tickets). The policy going forward is a ban on using LLMs to write code (and tickets). The use cases listed there (re

I recently migrated from Google Voice to jmp.chat, which is a telephony/SMS/etc bridge to XMPP. I use Dino on my laptop, and Cheogram on my phone, and the experience has been quite nice and seamless. Next step is to host my own Pr

I don't disagree with anything you said here, but I find auto-mode is too permissive on the reading side of things. I used Claude this morning to convert the financial books for my nonprofit from some export of a proprietary software (

Arson may be the original source, as may campfires, downed power lines, sparks from powered tools, etc, but the fact that these fires grow much larger than in the past is because of climate change. If it wasn't humans, it'd be lig

One reason to switch models mid-session that I didn't see explored in this post: cost. As we get ever-more-powerful models, it's going to make sense to use them for some exploratory/research/design phase, and then smalle

In this context, "top 90%" means "bottom 10%". I did truly awful and got "top 99%", which sounded impressive until I realized what happened.

I've been building something similar for my own purposes. Basically, I use Calibre's "Fetch News" functionality to get epubs of all the news sources I trust, and then once a month (interval is configurable), I run a pipe

A more charitable take is that we shouldn't tile the universe with consciousnesses that are in constant, unending agony. Torment Nexus and all that.
